Probably not worth it to post this thread but y not! Here are the updates to My G.so I finally came around to it and decide to upgrade my brakes. Here is what was done! Btw I did this w a friend following the very helpful DIY on this forum.
THANK YOU LANCE!!! AKA 1CLEANG for helping choose the right parts . On to the next dilemma haha!
Stoptech CrossDrilled/Slotted rotors F+R
Hawk HPS pads
Motul RBF600 Fluid
Pretty straight forward install although I did have Autoglitz do the bleeding to make sure it was done perfect ! That I won't mess with, but pads and rotors are cake to install ! It Was fun and a great day off. I figured if I can install most of my current mods, y not attempt this . Here are some pics!
Btw! These rotors and Pads paired up w our stock 4 piston Akebonos are serious ! My car just saw a huge diff from stock and they sure Look the part.
They are perfect for what I was looking for .

B4 installing new parts

And after letting the pros at AUTOGLITZ Flush my system .

Nice!! looks good with this wheels
. I have the same rotors for almost a 9 months now , first they are noisy and they make some vibration (at least to me) but after they break-in you will be happy.
The only thing i dont like with 20" wheels they make our rotors looks so small
, 19" always looks perfect to me.
